SUNRISE, Fla. -- The New York Rangers made sure goaltender Roberto Luongo's surprise return from injury would not be successful with a 5-4 overtime victory over the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center on Saturday night.

Kevin Shattenkirk recorded his second goal of the contest at 1:08 of overtime to give the Rangers their third straight win and fifth in their last seven games. The score came following a 2-on-1 rush with Shattenkirk taking the feed from Rick Nash for the winner.

The Panthers have dropped their last four on home ice.

Luongo, a game-time decision to start, was outdueled by Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist, who turned aside 30 of 34 shots in the victory. Luongo made 39 saves in defeat.

Blues 6, Maple Leafs 4

ST. LOUIS -- Alex Pietrangelo scored a pair of goals, the first to cap a three-goal flurry in the second period, to lead St. Louis to a win over Toronto.

The six goals were a season high for the Blues and included three from their defensemen, increasing their total on the campaign to a combined 17 in 15 games.

Vladimir Tarasenko, Joel Edmundson and Pietrangelo scored in a span of 7:55 in the second period after the Maple Leafs took a 1-0 lead in the first. Tarasenko's seventh goal of the year, off the rebound of a shot by Brayden Schenn, tied the game 2:33 into the second period. It was the sixth consecutive game Tarasenko has scored a goal against Toronto.

Capitals 3, Bruins 2

BOSTON -- Tom Wilson scored his first two goals of the season and Braden Holtby stopped 31 shots, powering the Capitals to a victory, their 10th straight win over Boston dating back to 2014.

Alexander Ovechkin, stopped on a breakaway by Tuukka Rask, came right back and beat the Bruins goaltender with a patented one-timer to give Washington (7-6-1) a 2-0 lead in the first period.

Wilson, scoring his first goals in 11 career games against Boston, opened the scoring and then, after David Pastrnak scored the first of his two goals, made it 3-1 late in the second period.

Golden Knights 5, Senators 4

OTTAWA -- Maxime Lagace made 24 saves for his first NHL victory and Vegas scored three power-play goals in a decision over Ottawa.

The win ended a three-game losing streak for the Golden Knights. The Senators have just one win in their last four.

Erik Haula scored twice for Vegas, while William Karlsson, Alex Tuch and Jonathan Marchessault had the others. Haula added one assist and Marchessault two for three-point games.

Lightning 5, Blue Jackets 4 (SO)

TAMPA, Fla. -- Steven Stamkos scored the only goal in the shootout to lift league-leading Tampa Bay to a victory against Columbus.

Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov each scored a goal while Victor Hedman picked up a pair of assists. Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 30 saves. Brayden Point and Yanni Gourde also scored for Tampa Bay.

Avalanche 5, Flyers 4 (SO)

PHILADELPHIA -- Mikko Rantanen scored one goal in regulation and the game-winner in the shootout, leading Colorado to a win over Philadelphia.

Matt Duchene, Blake Comeau and Nail Yakupov also scored for the Avalanche, who won their third straight.

Goaltender Semyon Varlamov (33 saves) stopped Claude Giroux twice in the overtime period and two of three shooters in the shootout to improve to 6-3-0.

Canadiens 5, Jets 4 (OT)

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Montreal erased a two-goal deficit in the third period and rallied for a wild overtime victory over Winnipeg.

Max Pacioretty scored the winner on a power play with 1:53 left in overtime. Jets defenseman Tyler Myers had been sent to the box for cross-checking Alex Galchenyuk into the boards during the three-on-three.

Montreal improved to 5-8-1 and the Jets fell to 7-3-3, including 4-0-3 in their past seven and 7-1-3 in their past 11.

Stars 5, Sabres 1

DALLAS -- Dallas dominated the first period in a win against Buffalo.

Returning home from a five-game road trip, the Stars led 4-0 midway through the first period and never looked back.

John Klingberg had three assists, Gemel Smith had two, and three additional players had a goal and an assist as the Stars improved to 5-1 at home.

Kari Lehtonen made 27 saves for his second win of the season.

Coyotes 2, Hurricanes 1

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona rookie Clayton Keller scored a goal in regulation and Keller and Derek Stepan scored in the shootout to lift the Coyotes to a victory over Carolina.

Stepan scored on the Coyotes' third shootout attempt, and Antti Raanta turned aside Derek Ryan's last shot as the Coyotes won at home for the first time in seven tries.

Carolina center Jordan Staal forced overtime on a goal with 2:25 remaining in the third period. Sebastian Aho and Noah Hanifin assisted on Staal's goal, his fourth.

Blackhawks 2, Wild 0

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Corey Crawford made 24 saves for his second consecutive shutout as Chicago skated to a win over Minnesota.

Artem Anisimov's power-play goal off a deflection of Duncan Keith's shot with 5:42 remaining in the third period held as the game-winning goal. Chicago had a four-minute power play after a high-sticking call on Wild forward Luke Kunin.

It was the fifth goal of the year for Anisimov, who now has a goal in four straight games. Alex DeBrincat added an empty-net goal with 1:37 remaining.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday

13) Northwestern 31, Nebraska 24 OT— Wildcats are first I-A team EVER to win three consecutive games in overtime. Someday they’re going to put a statue of Pat Fitzgerald outside the stadium in Evanston. As for Nebraska, they’ll be looking for a new coach soon.

12) Oklahoma 62, Oklahoma State 52— Do the kids in Oklahoma’s band ever get sick of playing Boomer Sooner? They must hear it in their sleep. Baker Mayfield threw for 598 yards in an Arena Football game played outdoors. Neither one of these teams plays much defense.

11) Iowa 55, Ohio State 24— This score isn’t a misprint; this doesn’t happen much, but when you’re -4 in turnovers, you lose. Buckeyes beat Penn State 39-38 LW, so they’ve allowed 93 points in their last two games- no bueno.

10) Wyoming 16, Colorado State 13— It poured rain in second quarter of this game, then it snowed most of the second half. Must be great fun living in Wyoming.

I think Wyoming QB Josh Allen will be the best NFL QB of guys playing in college right now; he doesn’t have lot of NFL talent around him, like the USC or Ohio State QB’s do.

9) Miami 28, Virginia Tech 10— Unbeaten Hurricanes were a home underdog early in week, but by Saturday, they were a small favorite. Lot of times, “hot teams” like that get hammered and sportsbooks clean up, but not this week. Miami-Notre Dame is a big game next week.

8) Bad Beat of the Decade Nominee: Florida Atlantic (-6.5) 30, Marshall 25— If you bet FAU -6.5 Friday night, skip to the next item. Owls led 30-23, had the ball on their own 43-yard line with 2:30 left and Marshall was out of timeouts. After taking a knee with losses of 5-9-5 yards, on 4th down from their own 24-yard line with 0:15 left, FAU took a safety, and didn’t cover the spread. The punter ran 11 yards back into the end zone for the safety.

To make matters worse, FAU coach Lane Kiffin made a snarky joke about it after the game. There has been lot of debate on Twitter on whether this was sound strategy or not- FAU won, so Kiffin did his job, but to me, punting the ball out of bounds would’ve been just as safe a play.

7) Ole Miss 37, Kentucky 34— Receiver on Ole Miss made a great catch in back left corner of the end zone with 0:05 left for the game-winning TD, after a replay reversal on a possible Ole Miss fumble kept the drive alive.

6) Michigan State 27, Penn State 24— Nittany Lions were headed to the national playoff, then lost the last two weeks, by a combined total of four points. The game started at noon and ended a little after 7— there was a 3.5-hour weather delay. Cruddy day in the midwest Saturday.

Michigan State is 11-4 in its last 15 games that were decided by 5 or less points.

5) Virginia 40, Georgia Tech 36— Tech is now 4-4; all four of their wins are by 14+ points- three of their four losses are by a total of six points. Yellow Jackets completed only 6-22 passes, which isn’t acceptable.

4) Army 21, Air Force 0— Then there is Army, which won this game without throwing one pass. Zero. Bupkus. But no incompletions, compared to 16 empty plays for Ga Tech. Imagine Army playing East Carolina? ECU threw 74 passes Saturday.

2) Notre Dame 48, Wake Forest 37— Total yardage was 710-587; Demon Deacons covered via the back door with 0:51 left. Notre Dame plays lot of ACC teams as the price for their basketball team being allowed to play in the ACC. Fighting Irish visit Miami next week; big game.

1) Arkansas 39, Coastal Carolina 38— Chanticleers are 1-8 in their first year of I-A football; they led this game 38-25 with 11:00 left to play. No way the natives in Arkansas are happy with this result, even though the home team won. Hogs need to win 2 of 3 to finish season to make a bowl at 6-6- they play LSU, Miss State, Missouri. Bret Bielema’s job could depend on it.

NEW YORK -- The Colorado Avalanche pulled off a blockbuster trade midgame Sunday night, sending center Matt Duchene to the Ottawa Senators in a three-team deal that also involved the Nashville Predators.

Duchene and Senators center Kyle Turris, who was dealt to the Predators, were the biggest names among the six players included in the trade. Duchene, 26, is a speedy former 30-goal scorer coming off a down year (18 goals, 41 points). The 28-year-old Turris, a pending unrestricted free agent, agreed to a six-year, $36 million extension with Nashville as part of the deal.

The Avalanche received two players apiece from the Senators and Predators as well as three picks in next year's draft. Ottawa sent 18-year-old rookie center Shane Bowers, goalie Andrew Hammond and first- and third-round picks to Colorado, which also acquired defenseman Samuel Girard and rookie left winger Vladislav Kamenev as well as a second-round pick from Nashville.

Atkinson, who is nursing a hip injury sustained Oct. 28 at the St. Louis Blues, missed the past three games. He has four goals and an assist with four penalty minutes and a plus-1 rating in 11 games this season. Atkinson set career highs last season, leading the Blue Jackets with 35 goals and 62 points, so his loss is a big one. The club is calling his status day-to-day.

Carlsson missed the past 10 games with an upper-body injury suffered on Oct. 13 against the New York Rangers. He recorded an assist in four games this season before the injury.

-- Columbus also signed right winger Maxime Fortier to a three-year entry level contract.

Fortier, 19, is currently playing with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. He has 85 goals and 222 points in 221 career QMJHL games with the Mooseheads, including 13 goals and 27 points this season.

The 24-year-old Ritchie has just two points this season (one goal and one assist) after netting 16 goals last season, but his physical presence will be missed. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder currently leads team forwards with 33 hits.

Hanley, 26, has four assists in nine AHL games this season. He owns 61 points (nine goals, 52 assists) and 101 penalty minutes in 216 career AHL games.

The 6-foot, 194-pound native of Keswick, Ontario, has played in 17 career NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, registering six assists and four penalty minutes. Hanley was signed by the Coyotes on July 1.

13) Before we go over this week’s games, some thoughts about today’s shooting in Texas.

If you can’t go to church and feel safe, something is bleeping wrong. 24 people died in a mass shooting in a Texas church Sunday. Do churches need metal detectors? Is this what our country is coming to? Seriously?

I’m tired of offering thoughts/prayers to victims; you go to church to pray, but right now, there are little kids in surgery because a crazy person shot up a church. Enough already.

Jets 34, Bills 21— Buffalo came in to this game +14 in turnovers for season, left +11. Jets ran ball for 194 yards, ended a 3-game losing skid. Jets are only 4-5, but they haven’t trailed at halftime since Week 2. By the way, I vote for the NFL to eliminate Thursday night games and switch to Monday night doubleheaders. Think it would be better for the league.

Eagles 51, Broncos 23— Tough scheduling spot for Broncos, who played in Kansas City Monday night, then had 3rd straight road game here. Denver has now lost four games in a row, scoring 10-0-3-23 points; they’re also 0-4 on the road, losing by 10-21-10-28 points. Eagles won their last seven games, would be #1 seed in NFC if the playoffs started today.

Rams 51, Giants 17— Performances like this get coaches/GM’s fired. Rams scored eight of the first nine times they had the ball- they’re 4-0 in true road games this season. Giants have a lot of interesting decisions to make this fall/winter.

It takes a whole roster for a team to be good; reserve LB Cory Littleton has blocked a punt in two of the Rams’ last three games. Rams’ special teams coach John Fassel is the son of Jim Fassel, who led the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV.

Saints 30, Buccaneers 10— New Orleans won its last six games (5-1 vs spread); their defense is the story. Saints allowed 8 TD’s on 65 drives during their winning streak. Buccaneers have now lost five games in a row, as teams that were on HBO’s Hard Knocks in the summer continue to struggle that season.

Bucs are 0-4 on road, losing by 7-5-3-20 points. Jon Gruden’s name will be mentioned a lot in Tampa this week. Jameis Winston sat out the 2nd half (shoulder), which could be really bad news for the Bucs, who didn’t have a play longer than 15 yards in this game.

Jaguars 23, Bengals 7— Cincinnati ran 37 plays for 148 yards for the whole game- they were 1-8 on 3rd down, Jaguars were 12-18. Total yardage was 407-148.

Jags de-activated Leonard Fournette for this game because he is lapsing with his off-field responsibilities, like getting his treatments for his ankle, and missing the team picture. Jax’ville hasn’t allowed a second half TD in their last four games, outscoring teams 43-6.

Panthers 20, Falcons 17— Atlanta/Denver both played their 3rd straight week on the road, neither team won or covered. Panthers allowed only two offensive TD’s in their last three games- they’re 6-3 with a bye week coming up in two weeks. Saints lead NFC South with a 6-2 mark, while the Falcons’ Super Bowl hangover continues— Atlanta is 4-5.

Colts 20, Texans 14— Loss of star rookie QB Watson was obvious here; Texans’ first TD was scored by their defense. Houston had scored 33+ points in its last five games, but with Watson out, not so much.

Tom Savage led Texans down field on last drive, getting to the Colts’ 10-yard line, but Savage got sacked/fumbled as time ran out. Indy is now 1-4 on the road.

Titans 23, Ravens 20— Tennessee allowed only three TD’s on 30 drives in winning their last three games- they’re 3-1 at home. Teams coming off a Thursday night game are now 10-4-1 vs spread; the Thursday winner is 5-2-1 vs spread in their next game, the loser 5-2, with Miami’s result pending Sunday night.

Redskins 17, Seahawks 14— Seattle ran ball better (148 yards) with new OT Brown in lineup, but they missed three FGs, and lost despite outgaining Washington 437-244. Seahawks also had 16 penalties for 138 yards. Big win for the Redskins, whose OL has been almost totally rebuilt in last couple of weeks. Right now, Seahawks are tied with Dallas for second Wild Card slot.

Cowboys 28, Chiefs 17— Both teams that played on Monday night last week lost road games this week; tough scheduling spot. Dallas converted 7-12 on 3rd down, ran ball for 131 yards as Elliott keeps skirting the NFL’s suspension during the week and opposing tacklers on Sunday. I’m not a big Alex Smith fan; I know his career won-loss record is 86-68-1, which is very good, just don’t think he takes enough chances to ever be a great QB.

Raiders 27, Dolphins 24— Oakland won for only second time in last seven games overall, second time in last 10 meetings with Miami; they’ve scored 26+ points in their wins this season, 17 or less in their five losses. Teams that played on Thursday are 10-5-1 vs spread in their next game, when they have three extra days to rest. Dolphins pushed the spread with a late touchdown. Favorites are 8-3-1 vs spread this weekend; over is 5-7.
